Endobronchial flow meaurement and flow control for regional ventilation

A medical device for treating an associated patient, comprising:

• a bronchial sensor device for placement in a bronchus of the associated patient and configured to measure fluid pressure in the bronchus;
• the bronchial sensor device comprising:
• a base;
• a membrane connected to the base;
• and
• a micro-bot actuator connected to the membrane;
• and
• an electronic controller configured to:
• receive the fluid pressure data from the bronchial sensor device;
• and
• calculate a fluid flow measurement through the bronchus based on a distance between the membrane and the base measured by the micro-bot actuator.
